The hotel location was convenient and the included breakfast was good, so we chose it. However, our room’s AC didn’t work on a 90-degree day in NYC. After a couple of calls, the front desk sent someone who wasn’t a technician but just checked if we knew how to use the AC control. By 2 a.m., they gave up and said the repair would have to wait until the next day, which was very frustrating. The next day, a real technician confirmed the AC was broken and they told me to wait for the fix. I requested another room, but the front desk said I had to wait in the lobby with my luggage until cleaning was done afternoon, adding to my frustration. I spoke with the manager, Jose, who gave us a “better” room facing a different street and two $20 coupons for the hotel facilities. He also promised a refund for the night without AC, which I never received. Travelocity is still handling that dispute. This isn’t about the money—it’s about trust. I paid full price expecting all amenities to work. If you can’t provide proper service, maybe hospitality isn’t the right industry. I used one of the coupon for coffee the next morning after a disappointing weekend driving back home. Thanks for the Coffee!!

There are better options! Avoid if you can!

I can say a lot of good things about this hotel - the place was clean, the breakfast vast, and the location is superb. However there were some glaring issues you should be aware of that really brought what could have been the best stay ever into the “will never in my life stay here again” category. First the room cards are required for everything from turning the electricity in the room on to operating the elevator and they were quite finicky so we had nights where the electricity would just stop, leaving our phones uncharged and ac not working. Second they are very strict about not bringing food up into the rooms which should really be our choice especially since my daughter has a severe gluten allergy and needs special accommodations. But by far the worst thing was the bathroom. The door is on one of those sliding tracks so it just hangs there no lock and you can see past it on the sides. The showers constantly leak (we tried two different rooms to same problem) oh and did I mention the bathroom walls are a lightly frosted CLEAR that does zero to conceal anything. Hope you enjoy being in a fishbowl while you shower and do your business! Finally the rooms are very very small which is to be expected in NYC but be aware! Let’s just say its not a room built for privacy or personal space! Enjoy at your own risk!

Great place to stay, Centrally located

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Riu. Breakfast was good, just wish it was a bit later, though, they have good food choices. Cleaning staff always very friendy. Security was always very helpful. Bar was good and good service. Wish they had their own transportation from airports. We did use a driver from within the hotel, Manuel Yascaribay, and he wasn't very friendly and charged us an additional $15.00 for charging our transportation to La Guardia.(total $120+) We always tip but this guy didn't even speak to us. No customer service at all. All in all, I would stay at Riu, again, as it's very centrally located and service was good. By the way, take bus from airport, it leaves you four blocks from hotel and it's cheap. We had too much luggage, on our return to airport, otherwise I would have used the bus. I took it from EWR new Jersey airport when I arrived and it was great service.
